A sinkhole on Highway 2 near Skykomish has reduced the thoroughfare to one lane heading into Memorial Day weekend. The Washington State Department of Transportation is urging people to find alternate routes.

The sinkhole, which is under the westbound lanes, must be repaired before crews reopen the road fully, according to WSDOT.

Crews discovered a sinkhole, part of which is under WB US 2 at milepost 53, near #Skykomish. We need to fill the hole before it is safe to open US 2 to two lanes of traffic. Plan for alternating traffic overnight/Friday as well as #MemorialDayWeekend travel delays pic.twitter.com/xASIBB9Amq
